By Eddie Ash PARMELEE COMEBACK EXPLAINED m m m ! LEARNS HEALTH IS ALL RIGHT

R OY PARMELEE says he’s happier with the St. Louis Cardinals than ever he was with the New York Giants. ... And his associations were friendly in New York. ... But when the big pitcher was with the Giants he labored under the hallucination that he had a weak heart and always was waiting for something to happen. ... Asa result the hurler wasn’t at his best strength. And the other day Roy hurled 17 innings against his old mates an dwon, 2-1, holding the Giants to six hits. ... It seems that the pitcher decided lo end the suspense over his ticker the past winter and consulted a cardiac specialist in Toledo. ... And the doc said that only an ox could show a stronger heart. . . . Which cured Parmelee and gave the Cards a winning heaver. The mild-mannered Michigan youth was bewildered when he checked In at the Cardinals’ training camp this spring. . . . Pitching against them had taught Parmelee that the Cardinals were not *agged the Gas-House Gang tor nothing, but Roy didn’t know what tne-oi.icr-side-of-the-tracks baseball was until he rubbed elbows with Frank Frisch, the Deans, Pepper Martin, Vegetable Man Mcdwick, Ripper Collins and Lippy Durocher. “The Cardinals are crazy, but it’s great to be on their side,” remarked Parmelee. They fight harder than the Giants. They get mad when they make mistakes. But when a game is finished they forget it quickly and think of ways to amuse themselves. They’re a great gang to be with.”

tt tt tt Anyway, there are no repeaters in the Kentucky Derby. Most of the horses running today will be forgotten by next year and will be just ' another bunch of oat munchers. tt tt tt NOBLE KIZER, athletics director and head football coach at Purdue, joined the Boilermaker staff as assistant in 1925 and completed his eleventh year as a member of the grid faculty last fall. It’s the longest tenure of office of any football coach in the history of the institution. tt a a IT’S strange that so many persons have so much and others so little. Attendance at Jamaica race track increased by more than 7000 over last year during the first 10 days of the 1936 season . . . And Derby attendance today will be well up compared with 1935 figures . . . One railroad alone sent 16 special trains into Louisville. a a a The slogan of Manager Rogers Hornsby of the tail-end St. Louis Browns is, “Any pitchers, infielders, outfielders or catchers today? The Ol’ Clo’sman will take ’em if he doesn't have to pay.” a a Bookies in Louisville are making a price on how often Burleigh Grimes is banished from ball games this season ... He has been given the heaveho three times, fined and suspended Grimes is a thorn to all umpires and when the season really gets under way the American Association is due to see some fun. a a u WHEN Jack Curley, the veteran wrestling and fight promoter, was on the stand in the mat trial In Columbus he was asked so many questions that he felt like he’d held up a train. Finally, when Jack was asked if he ever had been in jail he answered, “Yes, to visit two lawyers who were in the jug.” . . . Curley claims wrestling wars are the result of good times when independent promoters muscle into territory of regular promoters who carried on throu h the lean years. It was a tough break for Kansas City and Toledo yesterday . . . Rain ended the Blues’ home opener after two innings and showers before game time ruined the big crowd that was expected out to welcome the league leaders. tt tt tt THE writer is going to string with Brevity in the big race today. . . . Brevity first, Indian Broom second and Teufel third. . . . There are 14 other horses, however, and it stacks up as an open race. . . . Track conditions may cause a shakeup in the odds. . . . We saw a “field horse" win one of the classics when a cloudburst occurred just before the Derby.

TRIBE Redskins Hit Four Homers, Millers Two Indians Serve Notice on Rivals About Nicolett Park Jinx. Timm Special MINNEAPOLIS, May 2.—Red Killefer’s Indians have served notice on Ownie Bush’s Millers that the practice of using the Hoosiers as door mats is over. In the last two years the Redskins were kicked

around at ancient Nicollet Park and seldom won a game. The meeting of the teams here were cakewalks for the Millers. It was a different story yesterday when the Indians ruined the Minneapolis home opener before 7500 shivering fans by

finishing on the long end of a slugfest, 13-9. They drove out 17 hits to 12 for the home nine. Chief Killefer was out to bag another victory today and had Southpaw Stewart Bolen tuned up for the occasion. It was colder tha naverage football weather yesterday and there was a strong wind. Asa result the hurlers failed to up any steam, and there was a parade of flippers, Indianapolis employing four and Minneapolis three. Work for the Hurlers The starting flingers were Lefty Bob Logan for the invaders and Ray Kolp for the champions. The Indians also used, vance Page, Tom Gailivan and Jimmy Sharp, and the Millers called on Archie McKain and Walter Tauscher after Kolp was knocked .put. The home run barrage got off to an early start. Big Buzz Arlett blasted one out of the park with two mates aboard in the first stanza, and the Millers were under way. They tallied four times in the initial round. Then Fred Berger crashed a drive over ihe fence in the second -for the Tribe’s first run. The Hoosiers picked up another marker in the fourth and tied the score in the sixth when Mickey Heath hit for the circuit. However, Artlett smashed a second homer in the home half of the sixth and Minneapolis led, 5-4. Pitcher Hits Homer In the seventh the Tribesters were at the peak and scored six times. Pitcher Vance Page, who had relieved Logan, popped one over the wall during the rally. The Millers also broke out in a rash of base hits and counted four runs. At this stage the game count was 10-9, Indianapolis. Page failed to last and was relieved by Gailivan, who in turn gave way to Sharp. Mickey Heath stepped to the plate in the ninth and registered home run No. 2 for himself and in that frame the Indians collected three additional runs. The champions were unable to cross the plate in the eighth and ninth and were groggy when the last out was made. The Redskins are scheduled here through Monday. However, it is believed the washday tilt will be advanced and played off in a dou-ble-header tomorrow.

BATTERS DOWN KELS IN SLUGFEST

Grapplers Sign to Fill Hercules Bill Count Zarynoff in Armory Supporting Tussle. The supporting bill for the feature mat clash between Leo Numa, 220, Seattle, and the “Black Secret,” 220, a masked grappler, which is carded for the Armory next Tuesday night, was completed today by Matchmaker Lloyd Carter of the Hercules A. C. Several grapplers who have been absent for some time at the N. Pennsylvania-st arena will return for action in the early tugs. One is Cliff Olson, 220, speedy Minneapolis performer, who tackles Louis Thesz, 218, a young Lithuanian from St. Louis. Count Zarynoff, 206, who claims Ukranian nobility and is a former Ukranian Cossack, will take on Jack Morgan, 212, a two-fisted matman from Nashville, Tenn., in the other tug. The Count drew with Otto Kuss here last Tuesday, displaying a peculiar defensive style. The “Secret” wiio has scored six victories, including one over Kuss, and a 30-minute draw wtih Abe Coleman, gets his first long match when he tackles Numa. The Coast star is rated one of the best of the younger heavies and is anxious to remove the “mystery” from the hooded grappler.

Grand Slam’s Owner Pu ts Faith in No. 13 Charm to Clinch Rich Victory

BY HENRY M CLEMORE United Press StafT Correspondent LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 2. They’re off in Kentucky today, and when the big barrel-chested chestnut that is Grand Slam comes out for the parade his white saddle cloth will bear that black cat of numbers—l3. Superstitious bettors will likely shy from the strapping son of Chance Flay and Jean Bowdre because of the hoodoo numeral. Just as they would from a broken mirror or a fellow who throws his hat on the bed. But there will be one man in the overflow crowd of 75,000 who will see that “13” and chuckle to himself, for to him it is a number that stands for all the good things in the world. I speak of Charles B. Bohn, halfowner of the Bomar Stable whose silks Grand Slam will carry to the wars today in the sexty-second running of the Kentucky Derby. To Charles Bohn “13” is the rabbits foot, the four-leaf clover, of numbers. He’ll watch the race from his private box, and it’s No. 13, hard by the finish line. Since he came to Louisville a week or so ago, Bohn has lived in Room No. 613 at the Brown Hotel. When the drawing for post positions was made and Grand Slam's trainer yanked No. 13 out of the hat, Bohn's joy knew no bounds. Confidence Is Perfect “We're in.” he said to his partner. Pete Markey. “We’re in. With that many thirteens on our side, they can’t lick us. no matter if the track is fast as a ball room floor or knee-deep in mud. What a break to get that number! My worries are over. All I’ve got to do now is sit back and watch the big boy come hammering home.” The devotion for the number 13 is nothing new for Mr. Bohn. His love for it stretches way back to the late nineties, when he was a kid in Chicago, and making his living delivering telegrams. One night a strange request came in to the telegraph office —a gentleman was giving a banquet at a fashionable hotel, and he wanted a messenger boy to serve in the place of a guest who ha dfailed to show up. Bohn was told to comb his hair, wash his face, get on his bicycle and hurry to the banquet. He arrived to find Robert G. Ingersoll, noted orator and atheist, as host. Ingersoll explained to the youngster that he had planned a dinner for 13 guests, and was not going to allow an absentee to spott his seating arrangements. “You take the thirteenth chair,” Ingersoll told young Bohn, “and also

my advice about the number thirteen. Make it your number throughout life, and it will make you a wealthy, successful man. I predict right now that at 40 years of age you will be a millionaire.” Ingersoll might have been joking, but Bohn took him seriously. He adopted the number as his lucky charm, and today he attributes much of his- success to its benevolent in-

Cleveland Player Stricken With Dangerous Illness Bruce Campbell in Hospital With Spinal Meningitis; Other Team Members Are Examined. By United Press BOSTON, May 2.—Bruce Campbell, star right fielder, remained in serious condition from what was diagnosed as cerebro spinal meningitis today, while medicos awaited results of blood tests to determine whether any other member of the Cleveland Indians had been similarly afflicted. Not until Monday wlil the results be known.

Stricken aboard the train which brought the Cleveland team here from New York Thursday night, Campbell was taken yesterday to St. Elizabeth’s hospital. His name was put on the danger list, but Dr. William O'Halloran, hospital staff specialist, said the patient’s condition was hopeful.” Campbell was given a serum injection. Reported enroute from Cleveland by train, Campbell’s mother was expected to reach the bedside today. Campbell played in the threegame series against ’.;he New York Yankees at New York, which ended Thursday. “Bruce complained of a headache and chills while we were coming up on the train,” Manager Steve O’Neill of the Buckeyes said. “Yesterday morning when he wasn’t feeling any better we called a doctor in and when-his condition started to get serious he was taken to the hospital.” Campbell, who was traded to

fluence. Even today he has th* number 13 embroidered on his undergarments. And if you know you* bridge it isn’t difficult to figure out why he chose the name of Grand Slam for his big Derby hope. A grand slam is thirteen tricks. You have to take all tricks to make one, and that’s what Bohn thinks his colt will do today.

Cleveland by the St. Louis Browns last year, was stricken similarly last Aug. 3 in Detroit and was forced from the lineup for the remainder of the season. “Although Campbell's condition is serious,” Dr. O’Halloran said, “I wouldn't say it was grave. The fact that the condition was recognized early is the hopeful part of the picture.” He said it could not be determined how long Campbell would have to remain in the hospital.
